Doctor, Doctor I'm in Love with My Vac ...

Following my series of articles about the newest member of my family, I bet you all thought I was relishing in my new-found domestic bliss with the Samsung NaviBot. Oh how little you know about human nature, dear readers, as the one thing none of us can resist is temptation. Don't tell the NaviBot, but I've just met the racy new LG RoboKing. It was love at first sight!
RoboKing is red hot rather than cool blue. She (it's definitely female, just listen to its voice in the video below) is also shorter than the Navibot, so she'll fit under even more of your furniture.
Above all though, she's fast and seriously smart! It's actually quite impressive to watch RoboKing (or maybe that should be RoboQueen) detect obstacles, move around them, follow their contours and methodically work her way around a room (yeah, work that room baby!). In fact, I reckon RoboKing is the most intelligent robotic vacuum cleaner I've seen yet.
I'll describe my new friend in greater detail at a later date. For the moment though, we've snuck off to make a new little video, just the two of us. It must be love ...
* OK, so let me explain the photo. As yet there are pretty much no decent photos of this very, very new robotic vacuum cleaner, which isn't due for release until September. All I seemed to be able to find were cheesy presentation shots with pretty Korean ladies fondling the thing in a worryingly suggestive manner. Obviously I was jealous, so I decided to do my own little presentation shot!
